730 EAST COAST OF LABEADOE. 



Manak island (^lannox). situated 4:^ miles nortlnyestward from 

 Conical island, rises to a sharp-peaked hill on its southern side. Some 

 islets lie close northward of it. There are several islets and rocks 

 northeastward of the line between Manak and Conical islands. 



Poniiadluk point, northward 7 miles from ]Manak island, is low 

 and sharp. Between the islands off Manak island and Pomiadluk 

 point are several islets that should be left to the eastward ; and near 

 the shore at south-southeastward If miles from Pomiadluk point is 

 a group of low rocks, with a sunken rock off the southeastern end. 

 The passage is close to the shore inside these rocks. 



Cape Strawberry (Umiakkoviktanuk) rises to the height of 1,23.5 

 feet, and is the end of a high range extending southwestward to Alta- 

 gaiyaivik (Monkey hill), a conical mountain, 2,170 feet high. The 

 cape is faced by terrace-like cliffs, with deep ravines between them. 



Cape Mokkovik bears northwestward, distant 6 miles from cape 

 Strawberry, and between them is Mokkovik bay, an inlet reported to 

 extend 20 miles. At the entrance to the bay is a group of low black 

 islets and sunken rocks almost blocking the channel northwestward 

 of them. Southeastward of these rocks, under cape Strawberry, is 

 Strawberry harbor, formed by a small island. 



Cape Mokkovik is a steep bluff rising to the inland ranges. The 

 northern points of the cape are foul for the distance of 400 yards. 

 Two islets lie eastward of the cape; there is no passage between them 

 and the land, but vessels pass between the islets, or eastward not less 

 than 200 yards from them. 



Ragged islands (Kingnitaksoak) comprise a group of four prin- 

 cipal and numerous small basaltic islets and rocks. The south- 

 eastern islet is situated west-northwestward, 8 miles from cape Har- 

 rison. The third islet from the southeastward rises in perpendicular 

 cliffs to the height of 640 feet, and is conspicuous. The western 

 island is also high, with two round mounds, and is the largest of the 

 group. Two rocks, about 10 feet high, lie southward, distant f mile 

 from the western island. Fishing craft anchor in the passages be- 

 tween these islands, but the anchorages are not good. 



Communication. — The Labrador steamer to and from St. Johns, 

 via Battle harbor, calls at Eagged islands fortnightly during sum-

Adlavik islands, a large group extending northwestward about 

 13 miles from about 2^ miles northward of Dog islands, are nearly 

 all high and much indented; the channels between them, in which 

 there are small islets and rocks, are narrow and intricate, but they 

 have not been examined, and the greatest caution is necessary in 

 navigating in them. 



Tikaoralik (Wheel), situated ISyV miles westward from AVebeck 

 island, is a sharp peaked islet about 400 feet high. An islet lies
